US strikes hit wedding in Iran, killing at least four
A nighttime strike in Kuhestak on Iran's southern coast killed at least four people, including a four-year-old, and injured about 67 more, the Iranian Red Crescent said, adding that the death toll may rise. The strike occurred around 9:30pm and footage confirmed damage and bloody debris, while a nearby communications tower about 130 metres away was damaged and toppled. Iran accused the US of war crimes and mourners held funerals, and the Red Crescent has requested an International Criminal Court probe; US Central Command said it is looking into the reports and denied targeting civilians.
